The Reds battled through a tight, tense Emirates FA Cup fifth-round tie at Nottingham Forest on Wednesday night, with Casemiro’s 89th-minute header proving enough to set up a mouthwatering quarter-final against Liverpool.
Bruno Fernandes, who set up the Brazilian's winner with a teasing free-kick, and Raphael Varane were labelled as doubts ahead of the trip to the East Midlands, but both completed the full 90 minutes.
Our captain, in particular, appeared to be feeling the effects of an at-times brutal battle, but Ten Hag said the pair should be fine for the meeting with City at the Etihad Stadium, which kicks off at 15:30 GMT.
